Witness testimony began Aug 17 in Las Vegas. Will prosecutors rest their case against Duane 'Keffe D' Davis before Sept 4?
75% of users predicted YES — the community got this one right. 20 predictions cast.
Prosecutors in the Duane "Keffe D" Davis murder trial rested their case on Aug. 26, 2026, in Clark County, Nevada, after eight days of testimony and 25 witnesses, including secret audio recordings tied to the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur. The rest came before the Sept. 4 deadline, matching the market's yes outcome. Davis's defense team, led by attorney Michael Sanft, began presenting its case immediately afterward, calling three witnesses, including a retired Compton gang detective, to challenge the prosecution's timeline, then rested a day later, clearing the way for closing arguments.
A jury convicted Davis on Sept. 1 of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon for the killing of the rap icon, capping an 11-day trial; he is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 13. The community strongly and correctly anticipated the timeline, with 75% predicting yes. The trial marked the first prosecution in the three-decade-old case and closed out months of pretrial delays and evidentiary disputes that had repeatedly pushed back proceedings before testimony finally began Aug. 17.
